Description tagged shoes thrown up on powerlines. For those of you that grew up in the inner city (the hood) know that when someone got a new pair of shoes the old ones went up on the wires.
Joe Rodriguez, Long Beach Member Since July 2008 Artist Statement These are pictures I have taken over many years. I originally began taking pictures of graffiti and from time to time would throw some freights in. Well over the past 3 to 5 years I have formed this obsession with freights and everything on them. I find myself on my days off work walking for hours threw the yards looking for that one that I missed. I started all this in 98 or 99 and my first son was born in 2000 and now he walks the same yards with me from time to time taking his own pictures and pointing out the ones I miss.
